Default NW F-Body

As everyone now knows, NW F-Body is back up and going strong. At last count over 25 cars/trucks were at bremerton's Car club challenge for NW F-body. Not only did NW F-Body take 1st place, We took 2nd and 3rd.

July 29th is the next CCC I do believe at Pacific raceways, Now I know not everyone likes Pacific raceways, But with such a good turnout on Saturday, We will need the same, If not better turnout at Pacific raceways because we now have the big Bullseye on all of our backs.

So everyone needs to start planning now to be out there July 29th. I know, I know its a friday night, But beg and plead with your boss's to get off a little bit early

See you all out there!

I'll be there providing I get my car fixed My M/C started puking brake fluid on Saturday so I need to replace that plus the block mounted ball that my clutch linkage z-bar attaches to broke off in the block ( that's what happened in my last race against Doug ). As long as I can get both of these parts before then I'm good to go. If not then I guess I'll just drive my clutch handicapped T/A that night

Damn I'm a whiner....

Well... hopefully my car will be ready by then. But who knows, my car is pretty well screwed right now.

I think now I am the official NW section Master of Drivetrain Disaster.

Ask Ellis how great of shape my car's in.

I left it over at Ellis's house so he could drive it in to work and have NW Diff take care of the rear, and he's gonna take care of the tranny issues.

But then he test drove it, and decided that no way in hell he was gonna drive my heap to work... He's trailing it in on Tuesday. Yes, it is that bad... sounds like blown spider gears, bad ring & pinion, and some kind of clutch/tranny issue.

I think it was pretty well screwed by my 2nd test & tune run yesterday... but I kept making rounds, so I kept driving. Plus, I drove it all the way to Issaquah, then all the way to Monroe.

So at least my bad shifting wasn't entirely my fault... I wanna rematch Bill!!!

That old competitive spirit getting the better of you huh ?! I've got a feeling as I start to hook up better I'm gonna start singing more of those M6 blues myself haha !

I wanna rematch Bill!!!
That goes without saying I'm starting to think that maybe you, me, and Mark should just go rent a track out for the day The best 7 out of 13 or something like that Just don't invite Doug because I'm 0 for 2 against him

Oh yeah... the McLeod Twin Disk does its job alright. It found all the weak points in my drivetrain and crushed them like insects.

Well I guess you actually did get what you paid for then, at least it wasn't the clutch this time! Sorry to hear that Jason. This game is expensive huh?

I was just glad I wasn't crazy, there really was something wrong with the way the car was shifting. Or not shifting, as the case may be.

And yes... this is a VERY expensive game. By my calculations, I should have already had a rollbar, heads, and a healthy dose of nitrous... instead of trying to fix all the stuff that's gone wrong.

Oh well... you know what's gonna happen as soon as its fixed, right? That's right... right back out on the track.

Ya know, I was doing something to my car when you pulled in after your last run & I heard this sound....and I knew what it was but I thought it was the Mustang that was rolling by. I have taken out many a spider gear in my time....they make a nasty clunking sound as you go around a corner. I should have put 2 & 2 together.

Well, you are in good hands now. Between Ellis & Danny @ NW Dif, I doubt there is more drive train knowledge in the entire NW....maybe the west coast. You do make me rethink getting my stall re-flashed to hit it harder.
